Alright, I installed XP first, worked fine, then I installed Vista. Now Vista works, XP doesn't boot. It gives me an ntoskrnl.exe missing error.
I tried using the XP boot disc to do a bootcfg /rebuild. It didn't work (said it couldnt find any XP installs)
My (limited) understanding of this is that the arc path in the boot.ini is pointing to the wrong spot. So, I moved the XP boot.ini to my vista boot drive, as well as ntldr and NTDETECT.com.
Then I changed the boot.ini to what I think is the proper arc path (I've also tried rdisk(2)partition(1), same error), and used EasyBCD to create an XP entry for it on C:. I'm still getting the ntoskrnl.exe missing error.
Here's a screenshot of what I think is the pertinent information, if you need anything else let me know! I've been messing with this stuff for hours, really frustrated at this point.
Thanks!
